US EditionRedemption for Yates on epic mountain climb as he closes in on Giro d’Italia title
- British cyclist Simon Yates won the 2025 Giro d’Italia after taking the overall lead on the penultimate stage in Italy on May 31.
- Yates started the stage 1 minute 21 seconds behind 21-year-old Mexican Isaac Del Toro, who had held the pink jersey for 10 days before tactical errors cost him the lead.
- Yates launched a solo attack on the gravel climb of Colle delle Finestre, distancing Del Toro and third-place Richard Carapaz while his teammate Wout van Aert helped extend the lead on the descent.
- He finished the stage nearly four minutes ahead of Del Toro and declared, "I’m still in shock of what I’ve done," calling it the peak of his career at age 32.
- This victory ends a period of bad luck including a 2020 coronavirus withdrawal and suggests Yates could add a second Grand Tour title to his 2018 Vuelta win.
